MIA offered 'Sexodus' to Madonna

MIA has revealed that she initially offered 'Sexodus', a track from her new album, to MadonnaAs
well as performing together at last year's Super Bowl halftime show,
during which MIA famously gave the camera the middle finger, the pair
collaborated on two tracks from Madonna's 2012 album 'MDNA', 'Give Me
All Your Luvin' and 'B-Day Song'.Now MIA has revealed that 'Sexodus' could have been recorded by the pop superstar too. "I
actually played that song to Madonna when I wrote it and said, 'Oh you
can have this'," MIA explained in an interview with The Guardian. "She
gave it back to me."Although Madonna felt 'Sexodus' was wrong to
her, the track still prompted a discussion between the two artists
about what you do when you have it all. "So I was like, what d'you do?
And she said, 'You spend it!' And I said, no, I don't think that's the
right answer."Asked by The Guardian whether this affected her
opinion of Madonna, MIA replied: "No, because Madonna is true to
Madonna. She always said she was a material girl."'Sexodus' will now
appear on MIA's forthcoming album 'Matangi' as a collaboration with The
Weeknd. The long-awaited album is finally due for release on November 5
and will also include the singles 'Bad Girls', 'Come Walk With Me' and
'Bring The Noize'. MIA has recently unveiled a 90-second snippet of
'Y.A.L.A.', another new song from the album.
